first post, thanks in advance for any help. I recently removed a wall between the kitchen and dining room. This wall contained one of two three way switches for the overhead lights in each room. I would like to eliminate those switches that were on the center wall so each half of this new bigger room has just one two way switch, each at the corresponding end of this new bigger room. Hope that makes sense. Can I just wire nut the hot wires in the switches to be removed together and hide them in a junction box? If so, how do I know which of the two blacks and red wires to connect. Thanks, my electrical is not my strongest suit.

In that case I suggest you call in a professional "sparks".
